Mav's a GIRL!



After weeks and weeks of thinking we were going to have a little Mav boy we found out we are having a GIRL! When we found out I was way surprised but REALLY excited! Actually when we first got to our appointment that we were looking so forward to, our doctor rushed in and said he got called on a delivery and had to run so we would have to reschedule for two weeks! I dont think he realized how much I had set my mind on knowing right then what it was. We sadly walked out to the parking lot where I of course started the water works (I blame it on the pregancy!) Tyler was trying to tell me it was okay and calm me down when the Doctors assistant ran out and told us they could actually do it after all because the baby was already delivered. I was pretty embarassed he had seen how big of a baby I am but at least we got to find out! Tyler seemed really shocked and a little sad about having to rename our baby from Mav but he has gotten used to it now and cant wait to have a little girl! Now we can start buying her clothes and thinking of names and decorating a nursery. We are so blessed and cant wait to meet her!

HallowsEve and fall stuff!


Friday night we had a Halloween party combined with my sister and her husband at their apartment. We decked it out with lights and tons of food! We had some really fun people there with great costumes!

All the girls when we were playing girls vs boys pictionary. We had a gothic ballerina, Hermione, a fairy, a ninja turtle, nurse, minnie mouse, and a garbage bag!

By the end of the night I was pretty sick from all the junk we ate. Ashley made some cute white chocolate covered strawberry ghosts and Ali made the really cute bug eyed spider cupcakes. We also had some delicious chili cheese dip and pizza and wings... too much food!

Tyler looked so trashy, I loved it! We went to Olive Garden on Halloween night dressed up like this thinking we'd see a bunch of people dressed up.... it was pretty much just us and 2 little kids.

My dark side...

This is the pumpkin I carved with some of our favorite friends Mark and Moody. They made us dinner and had us over to their new apartment to carve pumpkins. The finished products were pretty good. Of course I chose the easy level 1 pumpkin and somehow Tyler ended up with the level 5 (the hardest one) It took him forever but I was immpressed how good it turned out!

Tylers mom Susan came to stay with us and help us look for a house two weeks ago. Every night pretty much after work we would go looking for houses. I really appreciated all her help and advice! We did get to do a few fun things while she was here though. We went to Gardner Village with Tylers step brother Glen and Kendi and their kids. We had to find like 20 witches all over the place. This is us with the lonely witch on a bench.

And the purple witch.

Well we are sad Halloween is over. Its Tylers favorite holiday so we pretty much try to do as much as we can for it! But on the upside we find out if we are having a boy or girl in a 10 DAYS so I will keep this updated! We are SOOO excited to find out! What's all your guesses?
